Introduction
The auxiliary heater
The auxiliary heater is a wise choice as an
accessory. The heater and ventilation function
provides a comfortable environment in the
interior, which is available as soon as you climb
into the vehicle.
Frosted or steamed up windows inhibit all-round
view. Therefore, they are a considerable risk in
traffic situations.
Heavy winter clothing, when worn in the vehicle,
results in loose seat belts as they are no longer
comfortably taut against the body. The optimal
efficiency of the seat belt is markedly impaired.
S280_013
A further disadvantage is that unsuitable
clothing restricts freedom and thereby also the
ability to react quickly to given situations.
By heating up the interior before the journey is
started, the windows are cleared.
Good all-round view is guaranteed.
Less restrictive clothing in a preheated vehicle
increases the efficiency of seat belt protection
and reaction time of the wearer.
S280_012
Further, use of an auxiliary heater is financially
viable. In many regions, the temperature on
100 days of the year is less than +5 °C, which
equals a third of a year of operation.
4
The supplementary heater
The diesel engines in the Phaeton feature
a heater that works to boost heat.
When the engine is started, the coolant is heated
additionally by the supplementary heater.
This helps diesel engines to make use of their
good efficiency and reach their operating
temperature in a short space of time.
The heat generated from the combustion process
is an unavoidable side-effect. The energy stored
within is converted partly into heat instead of
power.
This has the effect of reducing the degree of
efficiency.
Direct injection diesel engines reach a high level
of efficiency thanks to their optimised combustion
process. The use of a supplementary heater
supports the high level of efficiency in the engine
by heating of the coolant. In addition,
the passenger compartment is heated
comfortably.

Operation
Activation
The auxiliary heater can be operated in a number of different ways:
Immediate start is carried out via the front information display and operating unit, in the sub-menu of
the air conditioning system.
Programming a fixed start time is done via a timer in the same sub-menu.
Additionally, the auxiliary heater can be started using a remote control.
Immediate start
By pressing the auxiliary heater function button, the sub-menu can be accessed
for auxiliary heater control.
The heater button allows manual activation and deactivation of the auxiliary heater.

The fuel supply
Fuel is supplied through the fuel channel. In the
fuel evaporator (fleece), fuel is mixed with the
combustion air, forming a combustible fuel-air
mixture.
The glow plug with flame monitor ignites the
mixture in the combustion chamber at the start.
Once operation has begun, ignition occurs at the
flame front in the flame pipe.
During operation of the heater, the glow plug Q9
is supplied with only a small amount of energy
from the control unit.
The electrical resistance of the glow plug can
thus be used as a flame monitor.

When the coolant reaches a temperature of
87 °C, the heater is switched from full load to
part load. This reduces the combustion air
blower output and the metering pump delivers
less fuel. If the coolant temperature drops to
approx. 83 °C, full load is activated again.
At a coolant temperature of approx. 89 °C,
heating is interrupted. When the coolant
temperature drops to approx. 85 °C, heating is
initiated once again.

Deactivation
Deactivation conditions
The auxiliary heater and the supplementary
heater are switched off for reasons of safety
under certain conditions.
Vehicle-specific deactivation
The auxiliary heater is switched off when:
- the tank flap is opened,
- the fuel level is low,
- the onboard electrical system is placed under
heavy load by the onboard electrical system
control unit,
- an airbag is triggered by an accident
S280_024
- heater output is sufficient during normal
driving.
Temperature related deactivation
Deactivation
If the coolant temperature rises above 105 °C
during heater operation, fuel supply is
interrupted.
In this instance, the heater will run-on for
Heater operation

Diagnosis
Diagnosis can be carried out using the
testing and diagnosis system VAS 5051.
Communication is via the diagnosis interface.
The exchange of data between the diagnosis
system and the diagnosis interface in the dash
panel insert is via the COM lead.
Continued exchange of data is via the
infotainment CAN data bus.
If the data bus is defective or the data bus
diagnosis interface
is defective, diagnosis is not possible.
A description of the individual diagnosis
functions can be found in the guided fault
finding program on the testing and diagnosis
system VAS 5051. These are accessed
automatically.
The following components are monitored by the
diagnosis system:
Auxiliary heater control unit
Combustion air blower
Glow plug
Metering pump
Coolant shutoff valve
Recirculating pump
Additionally, the power supply and data bus
communication are checked and any faults are
stored in the fault memory.

Glossary
Diagnosis interface
The diagnosis interface is a virtual control unit in
the dash panel insert. It transmits CAN data bus
messages from one CAN data bus to the next
and also transmits data from the COM lead to
the CAN data bus lines
Loose belt
The distance between the seat belt and the upper
body (thorax).
The heavier the clothing, the greater the distance
between upper body and
seat belt. This distance has to be balanced by the
belt tensioner in a collision.
Degree of efficiency
The relationship between the energy supplied
and energy returned. The chemical energy
stored in the fuel is converted partly into
mechanical energy and thereby into kinetic
energy.
The remaining energy ends up as heat,
exhaust gas and radiant energy.
